The Sims 3 World Adventures: Al Simhara, Egypt Guide

Introduction

Al Simhara, Egypt is a great place for tomb explorers. It features probably the largest tombs in the game, along with a wide selection to choose from. This is a great place to stop after you’ve visited China. Here you can learn snake charming, and purchase the best cameras in the game to pursue the photography skill.

Charming a snake is a hidden skill learned from the snake charming basket. Buy them at the general goods store for $325 [if you don’t have any money you always bring up the command console and type in ‘motherlode’]. As your Sim gets better, they’ll eventually be able to put a cobra into the basket, for $1,000 Simoleons and possibly and if you stay at it, you’ll eventually be able to kiss the snake; which gives a positive moodlet and can be used to heal the mummy’s curse [click here for more on that subject].

Tombs in Al Simhara, Egypt [With Adventures]

Copper Quarry – Located on the island in the shot above. You are sent to this place on an adventure, but it’s fully explorable as long as you have Pangu’s axe and zeneport.

Great Pyramid – To fully explore it you’ll need Pangu’s Axe to smash a boulder.

Great Sphinx – You can choose to explore the Great Sphinx before you get cursed by a mummy and this will open up the cleansing ritual for you in the future.

Pyramid of the Burning Sands – The First half of this pyramid is explorable without an adventure keystone.

Pyramid of the Sky – This place is fully explorable but not exploitable without Pangu’s Axe but there is three boulders that block doors in the pyramid. You’ll first need to go to the right side and explore that area to find the Keystone to the Heart of the Water Temple.
